Thursday, April 10th, 2008An excerpt of yesterday’s event from the Concond Monitor. Gonzalez’s outburst Lawyers for Gonzalez and the government met in a room adjoining the courtroom for more than half an hour following the reading of the verdicts. After their conference, they met with Singal in his chambers. The judge later instructed the jury to keep deliberating. [...]
The verdict is in
Wednesday, April 9th, 2008The jury found Danny Riley guilty on all counts. Jason Gerhard was found guilty on everything but the explosives counts. The jury is apparently hung on Reno’s counts but will continue deliberating tomorrow morning.  More soon.
The jury is still deliberating…
Wednesday, April 9th, 2008Three more notes were passed to the judge yesterday. – The radio excerpt on 1e is not the complete audio excerpt heard in the courtroom. May we please have the complete exhibit heard in the courtroom.  - In Count II, the wording indicates that the Defendants are charged with conspiring with each other and other [...]
Notes from the jury
Tuesday, April 8th, 2008Trying to second guess what a jury is going to do is about as productive as trying to guess what color Skittle you’re going to pull out of the bag next. Nevertheless, it’s sometimes fun to see what questions the jury has and what kind of items they request. The following are the notes the jury [...]
Jury deliberation continues
Tuesday, April 8th, 2008Bright and early Monday morning, the Judge read his instructions to the members of the jury, and at 10:00 am, the jurors went to a back room to begin their discussion of the case. They have now been deliberating for more than nine hours. Here’s a Concord Monitor story on the deliberations so far.Â
Day 10: Reno and the Closing Arguments
Friday, April 4th, 2008Kudos to the US Marshals who have been sitting and standing guard around the courtroom over the last two weeks. When you consider that the defendants are on trial for engaging in an armed standoff with Ed Brown, a man who swore to kill any US Marshal who tried to arrest him, they’ve shown remarkable restraint. [...]
Day 9: Reno takes the stand
Thursday, April 3rd, 2008It’s starting to get easier to list the Brown supporters actually willing to testify than it is to keep track of those who take the 5th. Reno’s father, Jose Gonzalez, and his brother, Romeo Gonzalez, both chose not to aid their family member by taking the stand. Romeo is a cop, and you have to [...]
Day 7: A dangerous mind and the truth about Dogwalker Day
Tuesday, April 1st, 2008Today was Twofer Tuesday – two big witnesses with two big stories. Witness Anthony Dorothy Mr. Dorothy is a prison snitch. He’s a highly intelligent man who has done really stupid and immoral things. He reminds me of Hannibal Lecter, but without the moral compass. Since 1993, Dorothy has pled guilty or no contest to [...]
Day 6: An Ed Brown supporter who woke up to the real world
Monday, March 31st, 2008When you first walk into the Federal courthouse in Concord, NH, there’s a giant, stainless steel statue of Lady Justice. While the description of the statue says that she is blindfolding herself, from the angle below as you enter the building, I would swear that she’s flossing her ears. Judging from the lack of public [...]
Day 5: “Perfectly Legalâ€
Saturday, March 29th, 2008Witness Kenneth Erickson (Continued) The day started with the defense playing a promotional video produced by the makers of the Tannerite explosive material. Picture if you will a young man mixing a spoonful of dark powder with a jar of white powder and shaking the mixture for a few seconds, all while Pat Benatar’s song “Hit [...]
